Could be lots of reasons, but one of the most likely is acid reflux. Eating generates a good bit of gastro-intestinal action, not the least of which is a sudden spike in two things which relate directly to chest tightness in acid reflux sufferers - first, there is a sudden increase in stomache acid production and second, there is sudden stomache activities - the muscle actions of the stomache which relate to digestion. These two are a bad combination for those of us with acid reflux - the stomache conrtractions push some of the newly produced stomache acid back through the top of the stomache and into your poor esophagus - this generates irritation and can influence the vagus nerve, producing sensations that your brain reacts to by, unfortunately, tightening your chest muscles and your diaphram.

Could be esophageal spasms. You need to see a Dr. for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. This needs to be done soon before a complete blockage occurs and needs surgical intervention.
